(no subject)
Because I meant to do something nice for Kon last week and failed because I was unconscious most of the week, we have something for Kon this week, because better late than never. Whether it's nice or not is debateable, but I was reminded I'd been meaning to write it anyway.
Robin is not going to kill Lex Luthor. He wants to hit Lex Luthor. A lot.` He also wants to destroy the Tower of Babel that appeared in the middle of camp and got someone speaking Latin, but he's a little more busy trying to stop Kon. Which would be a lot easier if he could coordinate, but Bart's speaking Interlac, and Brainy's speaking Russian, and Lady's speaking Mandarin and Robin has a massive headache, and Kon's got heat vision.
"Kryptonite!" says Robin, because that really should cross the language barrier.
"But Kabuto moved his and now I don't know where it is!" says Bart. They take a minute to be surprised they're speaking the same language.
"So we knock him out," says Robin, dodging out of the way of another blast of heat vision.
Lady takes another shot at him, but there's the problem of Kon not actually being weak to bullets there.
"And we hafta do it soon before Buffy gets here cuz if Kon hurts her he'll be really sad," says Bart.
"Hi Bart," says Buffy. "That was one wussy Tower of Babel."
"Hi Buffy you shouldn't be here cuz Kon'd be--"
"Bart," says Buffy, smiling at him. "I'm not gonna get hurt. Promise."
"But you can't promise that!" says Bart.
"I promised I wouldn't die," Buffy points out. "Can't really promise that either."
"Yeah, but--"
"Incoming," says Buffy mildly, and Robin has to admit her dodge is impessive. But she's distracting Bart from the actual goal.
"Are you going to help or not?" asks Robin.
Buffy sizes up Kon. "I was thinking about it."
Robin doesn't want to be pissed here, but he's not even sure what Buffy can do while Kon's flying, and then suddenly, she's walking forward and Robin swears under his breath.
"Hey," Buffy says, looking up at Kon casually.
Kon doesn't blast her with eye lasers, which is a good start.
"Bart," says Buffy, her voice carefully calm. "Don't watch."
Bart blinks a couple times and obediantly closes his eyes.
Robin watches Kon continue to not kill her, which is good.
Buffy, without looking away from Kon, takes off her shirt.
Robin wonders if Kon's girlfriend has really just lost it.
But Kon's still not killing her, which is encouraging. And Buffy's sort of fumbling with her bra, and this is really incredibly weird.
"Goddamnit I hate these," she comments. Robin thinks she's gone nuts. "I can never get the clasp undone..." and then she looks up at Kon again. "Help?"
"..." says Robin. It really shouldn't have taken him this long to catch on, but if this works...
Kon sort of blinks, shakes his head a couple times, and leers.
Robin is not allowed to kill Kon, because no killing teammates. Even if they deserve it.
"Why aren't you wearing a shirt?" asks Kon, flying down to appreciate Buffy from a position with more physical contact, because apparently his shirtless girlfriend ranks higher on the noticability scale than mass destruction by eye lasers.
"Experiment," says Buffy. "I won."
"Can I look yet?" asks Bart. "Is that Kon? Is he okay?"
"Yeah, you can look," says Buffy, checking that her chest is safely obscured from view by how close she is to Kon.
"Okay?" asks Kon. "Wha--oh."
"Look on the bright side," says Buffy. "This whole keyword thing? Not that big an issue."
Robin really wishes he could argue with that. But Kon's actually the shallowest person ever.
"...You flashed me out of brainwashing," says Kon.
"Figured it couldn't hurt to try," says Buffy, grinning. "Distracts you from basically every thing else ever."
"Hn," says Lady, obviously unable to take any more of this. Brainy's already left. Robin can't really blame them.
"Grife, Kon," says Bart. "That's all we had to do?"
"You're not allowed to try that, Bart," says Buffy.
"Flashed me out of brainwashing," says Kon, a little stuck on the idea.
"Flashed you out of brainwashing," agrees Buffy.
"Best girlfriend ever," says Kon, grinning.
Robin is starting to rethink his stance on killing.
Thanks, Gaim, for saving conversations so that I can prove this was not entirely my fault.
(02:10:53) Kon: You know, I bet Buffy could get Kon out of a trigger word induced rage by flashing him.
(02:11:10) Buffy: ...And she might even think of trying it
(02:11:29) Kon: ♥
